A picture from the book,
Raw
art of modern newspaper pre- sentation has gone into the publication "The Bible For To-day," which has been pub- lished by the Oxford Univer- sity Press.
nro
Headlines and sub-titles as you might see in reading the "Hongkong Telegraph" used, with illustrations of mo- dern life and warfare to bring the familiar words to new life.
Pictures of tanks and aero- planes, the scattered ruins of bombed and blasted cities, the never-ending crawling masses of homeless refugees, all these are used as a commentary on the sacred text for the modern world.
There are pictures of well-- known London buildings, of peaceful streets and friends meeting, of the microphone and moving camera, and of children playing with their fishing nets.
Captions ally the picture with the text.
They give new meaning to long-known phrases.
John Stirling, a, chapinin in the last war, started on his work of editing "The Bible for To-day" three years ago.
In a straightforward way, the Bible is presented as news-revelation, news of God's interest in and work for the common people..
It teaches not a new inter- pretation but rather { new application of God's word to present-day needs.
The pictures (of which there are about 200), by Row- land Hilder and other artists give a new background which is neither Oriental nor anci- ent, the common; ordinary background of human exis- tence in every age, every- where.
Materials-Their Principal Uses
The widely known essential raw materials are these:
Iron, aluminium, copper, lead, tin, gold, silver, coal, oil, .other rubber, wheat, and grains, sugar, timber, cotton and other textile fibres, and electrical power resources.
No one familiar with mo- dern civilisation need be told why these materials are neces- sities for any nation. The use of most of them is an everyday occurrence.
However, a supplementary list can be compiled of what might be called less essential raw materials. Included are:
Manganese, nickel, mercury, zinc, chromium, antimony, cadmium, cobalt, iridium, mo- lybdenum, palladium, stronti- um, thorium, titanium, tungs- ten or wolfram, vanadium, sulphur, and artificial silk or rayon.
economy
Now, a simple, agrarian, underdeveloped country com- might never need to plicate its
with many of the articles on this less essential list. But, a highly industrialised modern nation, such as any of the world's great powers, would consider all the materials in both lists as "must-haves." If the economy of one such na- tion is to compete with that of others, the items not al ready possessed must be at- tained by purchase, or ex- change, or perhaps even by annexation or outright con- quest.
Here is a short analysis of the uses of the less, well known, materials:
Manganese-When
com-
bined with steel as an alloy, manganese makes it extra tough and hard. Also makes sfeel free from air holes. An excellent alloy for burglar- proof safes.
Nickel--A white, hard metal not. tarnished even in moist. air, nickel lends itself readily to the process of electroplat- Ing. Chief source: Province of Ontario, Canada.
MercuryThis is the only metal that is a liquid at or dinary temperatures. Fami
liar in thermometers and barometers. Spain, Italy, and the United States pro duce 96 per cent. of the world's supply.
Zinc-Forms brass when combined with copper. Used to galvanize stoel or iron..
prevent, rust, yell
Chromium-Aa
for other metalsjøhro
adheres better than
nickel.
It does not tarnish. As an alloy with nickel, it resists electricity and is widely used for electrical heating and
cooking.
Cadmium--With bismuth, lead, and tin, cadmium forms Wood's metal which melts at moderately low temperatures. Thus, it is used as plugs in fire-prevention sprinkler sys- tems.
Cobalt-Until recently, co balt-was-noted for its useless- ness. Now as an alloy it is useful in high-speed tools.
Iridium-One of the ingre- dients of electric light bulb flaments.
.
Molybdenum-Works won- ders with steel. Used by Germans for lining their. larger guns. Also good for rifle-barrels, propeller-shafts, wherever great strength is needed.
Palladium-Protects the surface of floodlight lenses against tarnishing.
Strontium-Comes from a village in Scotland called
Strontian. Makes a bright red fire for signal rockets and fireworks.
Thorium-Also used for electric light bulb filaments.
Titanium-Helps. harden
sice). Also is an ingredient of artificial fogs and smoke-
screens,
mo-
Tungsten--Similar to lybdenum. Also used as a filnment metal. Compounds useful for fireproof fabrics.
Vanadium-Gives steel elasticity combined with great tensile strength, Good" for precision machines and mov ing parts.
Sulphur-Forms thousands of compounds, most of which are foul-smelling. Most im- portant as ingredient of sul- phuric acid, one of the most- used commercial reagents.
Rayon-Valuable as a re- placement or substitute for silk and silk products.
Antimony-Alloys used in newspaper and printing offices for type metal. Also used as a compound in the vulcanisa- tion of rubber.
